No 40K thread yet? I'm surprised. Nay, shocked, shocked I say to discover there's gambling going on in this establishment...
I'm eagerly anticipating the imminent 5th Edition release, personally, but I was interested to know if anyone here plays and has a differing opinion on it. There are certainly plenty of people out there who seem to think that 40K 4th edition "only just" came out and that a new edition isn't needed. Anyone?
Warhammer Fantasy (including Age of Sigmar and WFRP) has its own thread here

Armoured vehicles. Last I checked, it is literally impossible for a Wyvern to successfully stop all but the most lightly armoured tanks.
True but that is what Lascannons are for.
Or autocannons, if you're facing a mechanized Space Marines list. Autocannons eat Rhinos up.
But of course. 
It's a shame I started playing Blood Angels after the Assault Cannon stopped being the most broken weapon in the game.
Otherwise I'd just load up with as many Baal Predators as I could lay my hands on.

Oh for the days of 2nd Edition where Assault Cannons could fire up to nine shots a turn, each doing D10 Wounds (or blow up) and when a twin-linked weapon did two hits for each To Hit roll.
It was such an entertaining Edition.

Hi
Well, this is one of the more fucked-up things I've seen lately...
Damn, Ctrl-Alt-Del. Damn.

... I actually wouldn't be surprised if this was/became canon.

Oh come on, you'd think the Techpriests would pass up on collecting 8-to-9-month-old stillborn babies from the common citizens forming the working class of their Forge World populations (yes, there are non-Techpriests on Forge Worlds; who do you think does all the menial factory jobs when Imperial philosophy considers cheap manpower superior to automation on a mass-production scale?) to turn into cherubs?

Can't see it either; apparently from the error message, it requires being registered on Facebook (never!) so it can be sure you're old enough.
@disruptorfe404: You mean it's yet another Loss parody?

Hi
Damn. I can't find it on the FB 40K group page or through GIS, so here goes: It was a play on this
◊note , with the guy as a Guardsman, the desk nurse as a Commissar, and the doc as a Techpriest. In the last panel, the fetus has been turned into a cherubim servitor and is floating over her and he's smiling. Her expression hasn't changed.

Seen it before.
I've been wondering, how exactly does numbering Imperial Guard regiments numbered? I did the math, and a low-end hive world should pump out one million regiments a millenium.
I'm pretty sure that the Administratum retains a list of numbers, and whenever a regiment gets wiped out, integrated into another regiment (a la Ciaphas Cain's) or defects, they free up that number for another regiment. (The Administratum being what it is, it wouldn't surprise me if regiments were regularly assigned numbers that were already in use elsewhere, leading to much confusion.) Meaning that the hive world might be able to produce thousands of regiments, but many of them will be marched straight into the meat grinder and never seen again/merged into another regiment due to operational losses/executed en masse by the Inquisition for seeing something they shouldn't, at which point they have servitors sew up a new banner, assign a fresh cargo of uniforms, and have a new pack of idio - brave soldiers assigned the number and sent into the meat grinder.
As far I remenber they are regiment who adopt emblem of a lost one, that will be easier for administratum to do something(granted they aren the one to do thing easy at all....)
Oh, the Administratum are fine with anything that makes life easier for them.
It's making life easier for anyone else that they'd rather chew off a leg than do.
I'm not even sure the Administratum records the names and numbers of individual regiments.

Individual Administratum outposts would surely directly supervise and record the creation and sending-off of local Imperial Guard regiments. Them sharing the info reliably (if at all) with the rest of the Administratum... Not so much.

By armour do you mean armour saves or armoured vehicles? Wyverns get far more hits per shot than a Manticore or Basilisk so failing armour saves is a matter of odds and in the case of armoured vehicles, the current rules mean that neither the Manticore nor Basilisk can one-shot a non-open topped vehicle these days.
